Letter to the editor: Buck lists priorities for another term on ACSD board

I am re-running for the Addison Central School District board as there are many items left to do.

I was thrilled when Ellen stepped forward to replace me on the board, both in the appointment to fill the vacancy and to run for the election in March.

Ellen is well-practiced in analyzing complex problems and supporting actions to change the whole of society for the better. 

Ellen Whelan-Wuest is running for the ACSD school board. That’s good news for our towns and schools, families and children.

Ellen listens objectively and respectfully to differing perspectives and has already started the hard work we need to help lead our schools forward.

Suzanne takes board work very seriously and is always looking for opportunities to be better educated on the roles and responsibilities of a good school board.

Hilda’s chief motivation in running for the ACSD Board is her love for her daughter, and a passionate desire that we make the world a better place for our children, and that starts with school.

Voters in all seven Addison Central School District towns will now collectively have a say in any future proposals to close an ACSD school.

Some Addison Central School District board members said they hoped Monday’s charter change imposing the extra hurdle of a districtwide vote for school closures had finally settled a local-control issue that’s been debated for at least four years.

My experience in the education system of rural Vermont shaped me and my world view.

Jason possesses a spirit of calm and peace, which manifests itself as a person who thoughtfully listens and imparts information pragmatically.

I’ve known Ellen for more than 20 years — she’s nothing less than a force for good.

Ron Makleff is a father of a preschooler, he is an educator, and he is a human rights activist.

I have known Chris for five years now, since my youngest and his oldest started Kindergarten at Cornwall’s Bingham Memorial School.

I am supporting Ellen Whelan-Wuest because I have had the great pleasure of working with Ellen for several years on the WomenSafe Board of Directors and I know how she works.
